They will insert their codes inside your website, so when visitors visit your page they will download their malicious code inside your personal computer in order to replicate the process and also to retrieve financial and identification details of the visitor.

Their main purpose is for financial gain and some of them use it for their political purpose. They can also infect a lot of pc and use it to launch Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against their target.

From my own personal experience, I first encounter this problem when I tried to access my website and got the following error.

If the iframe injection was done properly, then all the visitors that visit the infected site will most probably get infected with malicious malware.

Sample of Mozilla Warning for Reported Attack Site shown below.

So what i did was that I removed the iframe injection from the infected file and upload the new files. Plus, I change ftp details for the website.

My site was safe for few days, unfortanely the same problem occurs after a while. I was suspucios how the hacker able to access my website.

So I checked with my hosting provider how my website was hacked.

Then only I knew that my personal computer was most probably infected by Trojan virus and the hacker has automated the whole process.

The Trojan virus managed to steal all my websites username and password that was saved in the file transfer protocal software that I used. All the websites that I used using the ftp software was infected with the iframe injection.

Luckily, I got back up files for my website that was not infected.

Since a lot of the files has been infected, I had no other choise but to restore the entire site using the backup file. I changed my ftp username and password.

To prevent the problem from recurring I install Kaspersky Internet Security and no more iframe injection problem

Use Kapersky Antivirus paid version , update the pattern and scan your computer. Clean all infected files in your computer.

How to clean the infected php or html pages in my web site?

1. Refer to Google badaware notice like this

Approximately 6 files have been injected. You can search your index.php, index.html for the lines of codes.

You can also download copies of your public_html if the injected files are too many (zip the public_html or folder by folders. Uncompress the zip file on your desktop. Kapersky will notify you the injected files. Do not clean the files. Just save the log file so you can edit manually. Using this method, your page will not be destroyed or altered by Kapersky.

2. Change your FTP/Cpanel Login information. Avoid using the same password for web registration. Your FTP password should not be recycled. Some fake web sites would harvest this information and perform iframe injection over the web.

4. You can revert to public_html backup – this method is not advisable and should be used as last resort if you could not find the infected pages. If your pages have been infected for more than a month, most probably your backup files also contain the injected codes.

5. Plus remember not to safe the username and password of your website inside your file transfer protocal software. From my own experience, the Trojan virus managed to steal the information from the ftp software.

We consider the program to be a nice bonus, but it should not be the main reason why you participate in HubPages. There are revenue generating opportunities with HubPages, but we are careful not to over-promise any results.

The HubPages “Royalties” provides you with an easy way to take advantage of the Internet’s top ad revenue and commission generating tools.* You can set up affiliate accounts with Google, eBay and Amazon.* Google automatically displays ads in your Hub that are relevant to your topic.* eBay and Amazon products can be featured in your Hub – you decide which products to highlight.* Kontera contextual link ads can be turned on or off either on all your Hubs, or on a Hub-by-Hub basis.

HubPages earns its revenue from these ads, so we split the impressions with our writers.

After you’ve joined the affiliate programs from eBay, Amazon, Kontera, and Google, ads for these companies appear on your Hubs. Any revenue generated during one of your impressions (a click-through with Google, an actual purchase with Amazon or eBay) is 100% yours.

HubPages splits the impressions with you in the following way:1. Your own Hubs: Hubbers receive 60% of total impressions.2. The HubPages Affiliate Program: You can refer new writers to HubPages and if they become Hubbers within 30 days, you receive an additional 10% of their Hubs’ lifetime impressions.3. Traffic Referral Program: If you send traffic to any Hub, you’re entitled to either 9% or 12% of total impressions. You’ll receive 9% if the Hub you’ve referred people to already has impressions allocated to an Affiliate. If there are no Affiliates, you’ll receive 12% of the total impressions.

Whatever is left from the splits above goes to HubPages. Note that these splits apply only to Hubs and User Profile pages. On all other pages, such as a referral to a Tag page or the HubPages home page, you’ll receive 30% on a traffic referral, with HubPages getting the rest.

You have to sign-up for the Amazon Associate program by visiting Amazon.com. If you’d like to sign up, start here.

You’ll be asked to fill out information about yourself, such as name, address, payment information. You’ll also be asked what your site – in this case, HubPages – is about. The entire process is very quick.

We then provide you with step by step instructions, including text that you’ll need to cut and paste into appropriate places. Once you’ve been assigned an ID, simply add it to your HubPages profile so you can begin earning commissions immediately.

Like the Amazon program, you’ll need to visit eBay to sign up for their affiliate program.

Follow our step by step instructions to sign up, then enter your affiliate ID on the affiliate settings page of your account. EBay is fairly strict when they approve applications, so be sure to have some quality product related hubs on your profile before you apply.

If you have questions about the impression sharing system, send us an email for further clarification.

You can drive traffic from oustide of HubPages to the Hubs of other Hubbers and receive a percentage of the overall impressions. The traffic referral program works the following way:1. We start with Unique Trackers

Every HubPages account has its own default referral tracker – referred to as a Unique Tracker. You can create additional referral trackers as you organize your link campaigns.

2. Use the Unique Tracker to link to someone’s Hub.

Before you can link, you must be signed in to HubPages. Then, when you’re at the Hub you want to link to, look at the bottom of the page (or click the green share it button). There will be two boxes marked “link to this page” and “email this page”. You can click on these links and choose the Unique Tracker you want to insert in the email, URL or HTML code we will generate for you. From that point, you can either send the mail, or cut and paste the URL link or HTML code and place it wherever you’d like outside of HubPages.

3. The Traffic Referrals is guaranteed to be yours for 120 minutes.

If someone clicks on your link to a specific Hub, you are entitled to the traffic referral impressions for 120 minutes. We set this limit because there may be multiple Hubbers referring people to a particular Hub. No other tracker can replace yours during that 120 minute period. This is called the ‘first dibs’ rule.

The easiest way to keep track of your Adsense earnings on HubPages is to create a channel URL in your Google Adsense account. This will allow you to seperate your HubPages earnings from your other sites.

1. Log in to your account at https://www.google.com/adsense/2. Click the Channels link below the AdSense Setup tab.3. Choose the AdSense for content sub-tab and click the URL Channels link4. Click Add new URL channel, and in the resulting text box, enter the URL that you would like to track (use “hubpages.com” to track all of your impressions on HubPages)5. Click Add channels.

The Flagship Hubs program is an elite program for the very best Hubbers. It grants $25 for the completion of a Hub that meets strict standards, and must be written on a preapproved topic. There is an additional $10 bonus if the Hub gets at least 10 visits from each of 10 non-HubPages sources within 30 days of publication.

The Flagship Hubs program is limited to Hubbers who have published at least 5 high-quality, non-promotional Hubs. You can read more information about the program here.

12. How do I sign up for Kontera?

HubPages now offers the option of adding contextual advertising with Kontera. Click here to sign up. Please note that Kontera has a minimum payout threshold of $100, and therefore may not be appropriate for Hubber’s with relatively low traffic numbers.

Follow our step by step instructions to help you through the sign-up process, and place your Kontera affiliate ID in the appropriate field on your affiliate settings page.

IMPORTANT: In the Kontera signup form do not enter hubpages.com as the website URL, instead use the URL to your HubPages profile page, or to one of your hubs.

Note that Kontera is off by default for all hubs. You can enable or disable it for individual hubs by editing them, and changing the Kontera setting next to Ad Level. You can also turn it on or off for all of your hubs at once on the affiliate settings page. The text link ads will only appear to readers that are not signed in to HubPages.
